About this property
Luxurious villa, idyllic view, 5km from town & beach, total privacy, large pool
Villa Givera nestles in a peaceful hillside setting just 5 km far from the town of Rethymnon and 3 km far from the closest sandy beach. This lovely property enjoys full privacy and magnificent views to the clear blue sky, the Cretan countryside with the olive groves and the inviting sea.
The villa boasts a spacious, well appointed interior (130 sq.m.) with wooden ceiling and stone tile details, and can comfortably accommodate up to 6 persons in its 3 airy and sunny bedrooms. The big spaces, the classy decor, the large terrace with its lovely sunsets, the stunning swimming pool as well as the beautiful gardens and the BBQ facilities will give your vacation a special touch of comfort and wellness.
Outdoor
The villa features a 1000 sqm outdoor space with a large tile paved veranda and an even larger pool deck with a private, eco friendly swimming pool (9m long & 1.40m deep). The spectacular views and the breathtaking sunsets will enchant you each day and evening, assuring you a memorable stay. The family size wooden table of the veranda invites you to enjoy your Cretan meals, while the lounge furniture is ideal for a night drink by the pool. At the stone-built BBQ facilities with the extra sink and fridge you can experience homemade al fresco lunches. Additionally, there is a lot of space covered with grass, ornamental trees, rose bushes, geraniums and aromatic plants, whilst the stone paved path leading to the entrance of the villa is the perfect place to safely park your car.

The spacious sitting area features one triple and one double sofa, an armchair, a dining table for 6, a fireplace, and two double windows opening onto the veranda and the swimming pool. A long corridor connects the living room with the bedrooms and bathrooms.

About the host
Hosted by Marina Kazila
I work as a translator and as a professor of Spanish language, but at the same time I dedicate a big part of my time and energy in promoting Givera Villas, our family business. I love being in contact with people all over the world and satisfying their desire for exciting and relaxing vacations. My intention is to build a familiar and friendly relationship with guests, contributing to make their stay as comfortable and enjoyable as possible.
Why they chose this property
Villa Givera is surely the place you are looking for your dreamy getaway to Crete Island. It’s really your home away from home and offers privacy, peace of mind and complete relaxation thanks to its privileged location and the overwhelming and unobstructed views of the area. A great asset is the fact that the property is located only 2.5km far from the highway connecting the whole island. Thus, it's a crossroad between the two biggest towns of Crete, Heraklion and Chania, and it's the perfect starting point for exploring every corner of the island. An unmissable opportunity for those looking to escape, unwind and relax within idyllic surroundings.
Givera Villas (Villa Givera and Villa Metochi) is a family business launched by Mr. George Kazilas who wanted to put his own spin on the promotion of Cretan hospitality and top-notch accommodation and service. In 2006 he raised two lovely, private villas with personal commitment and care in order to preserve the Cretan heritage and offer visitors the opportunity to explore the beauties of this land, enjoy the landscape and experience the Cretan way of life. The longtime know-how of Kazilas Family is a guarantee of high quality vacations and a travelling experience you rarely get as a mass tourist. Villa Givera and Villa Metochi stand in two different locations, but they are both just a few-minute drive from the town of Rethymnon.
